fiveforsilver94. *^Lessons from the Fat-o-Sphere: Quit Dieting and Declare a Truce with Your Body by Kate Harding and Marianne Kirby (272) A/NF
I really like this book. I may not agree with everything that Harding and Kirby have to say (or, always, the way they say it) but overall, it is a good book with many excellent points. It's also enjoyable to read, written with a friendly and irreverent style - although parts of it can be more difficult to read because of the truth in what they say. It's not easy to look truth in the eye.
Recommended for anyone with body issues, especially people dealing with being fat in weight-obsessed societies.
95. *Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison (272) YA/Fic
Diary of a somewhat silly British teenager.
Written in pseudo-diary format - it resembles a diary but not very realistically, which is ok because it's just supposed to be humorous. I found it more amusing than laugh-out-loud funny, myself.
